    Screen saver slideshow misses pictures


    Why does the screen saver slide-show keep missing pictures from my pictures folder. I have one folder containing multiple pictures approx. 33. However, the screen saver picks up only 10 pictures for the slideshow. To reiterate, all the pictures are of the same format and all of them are in one folder. Please help.

    :)

  2. Screen saver slideshow for Windows 10

    Hi,

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if this helps:

    • Open Screen Saver Settings by clicking on the start button and entering
      Screen saver in the search box.
    • Under Screen saver, tap or click
      Photos
      .
    • To change one or more of the screen saver settings, tap or click
      Settings
      , and then do one or more of the following:
    • To change the speed of the slide show, tap or click the list next to
      Slide show speed
      (it will give three options Slow, Medium and Fast) select accordingly.
    • If you want the photos to appear in a random order, select the
      Shuffle pictures
      check box.
    • Tap or click Save to save the setting changes you made. Then tap or click
      OK in the Screen Saver Settings
      dialog box.

    Can't create a Lock screen Slideshow - missing the Pictures icon

    Hi. Your excellent tutorial shows the presence of a Pictures icon:

    In my Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen, when I select Slideshow, there is no Pictures icon:

  4. Screen saver slideshow misses pictures

    Background slideshow error n screen saver settings reset to "NONE"

    1) win10 V1709

    2) set background (personalization==>settings) to slideshow and pointed to this folder

    a) I created a folder name windows 10 wallpaper (aka wp folder) and it only has ALL .jpg files (not even alternate like jpeg, etc, just jpg)

    b) there are 2 extra folders that are empty within the pictures library, called "Camera Roll" n "Saved Pictures" These come with the OS, I deleted them 3x and they "came back" on their own despite I didnt restore from rubbish bin

    3) set locked screen to also slideshow

    4) set screen saver to photos chose wp folder

    5) Power & sleep settings==> screen = NEVER, sleep = NEVER

    I have tried the workaround for my slideshow for background and locked screen, so will report back whether I am still getting "cant display slideshow" error once in a while (sometimes it decided to work, sometimes not). This is the part i dont quite understand

    ========================================

    CASE: Set screen saver to photos and choose wp folder FIRST

    1) set background, locked screen to slideshow==> screen saver reset to "NONE"

    2) set background to picture, locked screen to slideshow==> screen saver reset to "NONE"

    3) set background to picture, locked screen to picture==>screen saver to picture ==> works screen saver is still picture

    Case: Set screen saver AFTER setting background and locked screen

    1) set background, locked screen to slideshow==> background and locked screen reset to picture

    2) set background to picture, locked screen to slideshow==>both reset to picture

    3) set background to slideshow, locked screen to picture==>both reset to picture

    * whether i set background to slideshow or locked screen to slideshow or both or one of them to slideshow, the other picture will get RESET to picture once i set screen saver to photos

    ======================================

    million dollar question: Why system even seems to display screen saver sometimes when its set to NEVER sleep for BOTH screen and sleep settings?

    and giving me the error "there is a error to display the slideshow" (or something similar)

    ====================================

    what I have tried so far

    1) creating another folder making sure its under "library" and copy ALL my wp jpg files to this new folder and set background and locked screen to use this new folder ==> FAILED. Tried 3x

    2) currently i tried a trick that one user says work for him, set locked screen to picture, locked the screen, login, set the locked screen to slideshow ==> will report back whether this work or not as I dont locked my screen
